MCUIUC -- A New Framework for Metagenomic Read Compression [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Metagenomics is an emerging field of molecular biology concerned with analyzing the genomes of environmental samples comprising many different diverse organisms. Given the nature of metagenomic data, one usually has to sequence the genomic material of all organisms in a batch, leading to a mix of reads coming from different DNA sequences.

Dirichlet multinomial mixtures: generative models for microbial metagenomics [PDF]
, 2012 We introduce Dirichlet multinomial mixtures (DMM) for the probabilistic modelling of microbial metagenomics data. This data can be represented as a frequency matrix giving the number of times each taxa is observed in each sample.

metaSPAdes: a new versatile de novo metagenomics assembler [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 While metagenomics has emerged as a technology of choice for analyzing bacterial populations, assembly of metagenomic data remains difficult thus stifling biological discoveries. metaSPAdes is a new assembler that addresses the challenge of metagenome analysis and capitalizes on computational ideas that proved to be useful in assemblies of single cells

Environmental Science and Technology, 2018 Although using anammox communities for efficient wastewater treatment has attracted much attention, the pure anammox bacteria are difficult to obtain, and the potential roles of symbiotic bacteria in anammox performance are still elusive.

Reviews in Medical Virology, 2007 AbstractCharacterisation of new viruses is often hindered by difficulties in amplifying them in cell culture, limited antigenic/serological cross‐reactivity or the lack of nucleic acid hybridisation to known viral sequences. Numerous molecular methods have been used to genetically characterise new viruses without prior in vitro replication or the use ...

A Bioinformatician's Guide to Metagenomics [PDF]
Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2008 SUMMARYAs random shotgun metagenomic projects proliferate and become the dominant source of publicly available sequence data, procedures for the best practices in their execution and analysis become increasingly important. Based on our experience at the Joint Genome Institute, we describe the chain of decisions accompanying a metagenomic project from ...
